Al Maktoum isn't just an airport - it's an entire city. Al Maktoum International Airport will span an area larger than Manhattan, handle more than 260 million passengers a year and cost $35 billion USD to build. Plus, with more than double the capacity of the world's current busiest airport, it's breaking countless world records.
But... Dubai already, quite famously, has an airport. DXB is world-renowned, and has had a huge part in making the city what is it today. So the question is... does Dubai need this new $35BN megaport?
The $16.8BN advanced chip factory called Terafab is planned for Tesla and SpaceX in Grimes County, Texas, and could extend over 9.2M square metres.
The project will upgrade the 1996 venue with expanded fan concourses, new indoor-outdoor gathering spaces and a social deck overlooking the city.
The 12-storey tower in Bellevue, Washington, could become the tallest mass timber office building in the US. Called Bevel, the 55-metre structure would create around 19,000 square metres of workspace.
